Our crew
Our crew at DEF CON was full of Praveen's friends, and more and more of them arrived all the time, by various methods. We drove to Las Vegas through the desert in a large van. We stayed at the Alexis Park, which is the DEF CON conference hotel. We were joined intermittently by lots of other people, many of them from New Mexico. Jennifer 8. Lee, a very friendly reporter for the New York Times Circuits section, hung around with us a lot, too.
I met Jenny at DEF CON last year, and she got involved in covering DMCA issues, so I had occasion to speak with her a few times after that. She covered one of the Free Dmitry marches in San Francisco. But lately she's been writing about technology for Circuits and not covering politics. My father (not knowing that I know her, as far as I know) sometimes sends me her articles in the mail.
The story of Jenny's name is interesting, and we talked about it a lot last year. But this year, it was old news (so to speak).
